Institutions see solana as risky after their big hack and losses. May I plug roxx a new token that will deliver on real world utility and sound business.
We have made an announcement page in the altcoins section and it launches this coming October 2022. We are in the process of obtaining full licenses to operate globally. The coin will also feature a special contract ensuring clients are treated properly. Unlike Luna or the many others who seem to get away with all sorts of behaviour.
Stick to a small number of top coins - if solana is it - then best of luck in the future uptrends.

There is another 6 months of downside at least. Momentum is not there. Bear cycle has not seen quantitative tightening before. Hope this helps.

Maybe here is not the best place for investment advice. If you choose the right project. The longterm hold will probably work out. But right now from what I have seen prices are not stable. Bear trends like this regarding the stock market tend to last a lot longer than expected. And if crypto follows the commodities market - we probably will see rebounds sooner but again I am not sure any time soon is the right time to buy. Wait until the bull market is confirmed.

Now, from a heavily bias point of view. I would invest in www.roxxblockchain.io - a new breed of blockchain development.
Limited supply, only ever a 2 million supply - no mining. With use cases due to be implemented fairly rapidly. We aim to solve the issues with current ecosystems.

USDC is my choice but I am sure most are ok. Only USDt has had some bad press in the past.
